Name

This article should be named Kuomintang not KMT. The Kuomintang is the name in English, KMT is just an initialisms and should be reserved to use within the article, not the article title. Derek Harkness 20:36, 30 June 2008 (CDT)

Or more precisely, the name should be the Kuomintang of China to disambiguate with Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang which is the second largest political party in the Peoples Republic of China. There are several other minor parties that use the name Kuomintang too. Derek Harkness 20:53, 30 June 2008 (CDT)
We can use Kuomintang (China) according to our disambiguation policies. "Kuomintang of China" is too misleading--it sounds like an official name. The problem is that this party has not been in China since 1949, but instead had ruled Taiwan for most of the last 60 years. Is not "Kuomintang" the version used in Taiwan as opposed to the pinyin version of Guomindang? If so then I assume the mainland parties are called Guomindang. Richard Jensen 21:04, 30 June 2008 (CDT)
